study programs

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has designed three special spiritual study programs for the systematic study and practice of Kadampa Buddhism that are especially suited to the modern world.
the general program
All of our drop-in classes are included within the General Program.
the foundation program
The Foundation Program provides an opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of Buddhism through a systematic study of six texts. It is designed for those people who wish to study Buddha’s teachings in more depth than is available at General classes. It takes a more structured approach and classes consist of readings, teachings, discussions, chanted prayers and meditations. Each subject concludes with an examination.
the teacher training program
The Teacher Training Program is intended for people who wish to train as authentic Buddhist Teachers, and also for those who wish to gain a clear insight into Buddha’s teachings and deep experience of their practice. All qualified Kadampa Buddhist teachers follow this in-depth program of study and practice.
The program involves the study of twelve texts, students are required to observe certain commitments with regard to behavior and way of life, and to complete a number of meditation retreats. Khedrubje Centre does not yet offer TTP, but it can be studied by correspondence with Mahasiddha Centre, Sydney or KMC Australia, Melbourne.
